italy!

hello! so i was able to spend some time in italy the last couple weeks, and i have to say that it was AMAZING!!! i would put more pictures up, but uploading can be difficult at times so i'll stick with just these.

i was able to see great artwork and architecture. the transportation was awesome; i became bffs with trains. (i wish the united states had them...)

i couldn't have asked for a better trip. ever.

it changed my life.

i think i left my heart in italy.

family.

what would we do without family?


i just got back from camping with my family. it was fun, crazy, horrible, epic, awesome and boring at times. my family is pretty cool but just like every family, we have our problems. dealing with these problems allows us to become closer. it's not easy to overlook issues that arise, but all we can do is take each situation one step at a time.

my dad just found out he has MS. this came as a shock to my family, but we have become closer after hearing the news. we're dealing with it the best we know how. that's all we can do. faith and prayers go a long way, too.

here's to news that makes life complicated, and hoping for a uneventful future.

hmm

what's on my mind...

• camping tomorrow with my family! i'm so excited.


• hoping that some guy will look past all my weaknesses and see something in me.


• hoping that this summer will be great.


• wishing secretly that i could be a little bit better around guys.

well, that's all.

life is pain.
